A dull or chipped tub in Kingsbury does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Need a fresh basin fast? Our local crew restores your faded washing tub so it shines like brand new without spending thousands.
Now, throwing away a cast iron soak basin sounds pretty simple until you actually start swinging a sledgehammer in your tight bathroom. Suddenly, you gotta rip up expensive floor tiles, cut out plumbing pipes, and haul three hundred pounds of rusty metal down narrow stairs. Furthermore, hiring a crew to rebuild that damaged drywall will empty your wallet real quick. Instead, updating the top shell brings back that original sparkling finish for a small fraction of a full remodel cost.
Besides, those old heavy tubs hold heat way better than modern cheap plastic ones you buy at big box hardware stores. Honestly, most vintage basins were built like tanks and just need a strong new surface coat to look amazing again. Plus, keeping your original fixture saves you from spending weeks living in a dusty construction zone. Which means you get to enjoy a shiny, deep soak without suffering through endless house mess...
Luckily, our team handles all the gritty labor so you never have to break a sweat. Truth is, thousands of smart homeowners choose this affordable fix to save time and stress. On top of that, you keep your money in your bank account where it belongs.
First, we scuff down the old dull enamel using heavy duty industrial cleaners that remove decades of soap scum build up. Next, our crew fixes every single deep chip, scratch, and ugly rust spot with durable bonding fillers. After that, we apply a special liquid primer that chemically fuses to the original base material so nothing ever peels off.
Subsequently, we spray multiple thick layers of high tech acrylic polymer coating using specialized high pressure equipment. Therefore, the fresh surface cures into a super slick, non porous shield that resists water stains and harsh mold. Consequently, your bathroom gets a dramatic factory fresh transformation in just a few short hours.
By the way, you won't have to wait weeks to take a long hot bath either. Actually, the ultra modern spray coating cures super fast so your basin is ready for action the very next day. Here is a handy quick breakdown comparing your main bathroom upgrade choices:
| Project Type | Average Time Needed | Disruption Level | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Basin Removal | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely High | Very Expensive |
| Acrylic Bath Liner Drop-In | 2 to 3 Days | Moderate | Pretty High |
| Professional Liquid Refinishing | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low | Super Affordable |
Eventually, old worn out gelcoats get tiny microscopic cracks where dark grime and gross bacteria love to hide out forever. Even worse, scrubbing those rough spots with harsh bleach chemicals just makes the surface more porous and easier to stain. Naturally, our smooth acrylic protective finish seals up all those microscopic pores completely.
Hence, cleaning your wash area becomes as easy as taking a soft sponge and gently wiping away surface water drops. Furthermore, you can finally throw away those nasty harsh chemical cleaners that hurt your eyes and lungs. To be honest, having a sanitary, smooth surface gives you real peace of mind when your kiddos take a bath.
Additionally, we re-caulk all the edges around your splash walls with industrial grade silicone sealants. Consequently, water stays inside the basin instead of leaking into your subfloors and causing expensive hidden rot damage.
Living in a cozy LaPorte County neighborhood means you value straight talk, hard work, and honest prices from real local people. Specifically, inside the small area covering ZIP code 46345, homes feature unique classic designs that deserve careful attention to detail. Although the median household income sits around $53,125 across our community of 203 residents, spending top dollar on torn up drywall makes zero sense.
Instead, fixing your existing soak basin keeps your property looking gorgeous while preserving its true classic charm. Indeed, our friendly mobile team drives right to your driveway fully equipped with all the pro gear needed for the job. Because we live nearby, we always show up on time and treat your residence with absolute respect.
Similarly, we protect your hallway floors and vanity cabinets with clean drop cloths before we even pop open a single paint tin. Above all, we leave your washing area cleaner than we found it so you can relax right away.
Actually, doing this job right takes way more than buying a cheap DIY kit from a neighborhood supply shop. Frankly, those flimsy brush-on paint sets usually brush off or turn ugly yellow after just a couple months of use. Conversely, our trained pros use commercial exhaust fans to safely vent all strong chemical fumes directly outside your windows.
Furthermore, we carefully etch the smooth porcelain surface using professional acid solutions that create microscopic gripping points for the glue bonding layer. Ultimately, this extra hard prep work ensures your brand new gloss surface won't chip when you accidentally drop a shampoo bottle. Which gives you a mirror like polish that stays radiant for up to fifteen long years with proper care...
Clearly, taking shortcuts on surface preparation always leads to peeling disasters later on down the road. Wherefore, our team never cuts corners, spending hours getting the foundation perfectly dry and totally dust free before spraying.
Mind you, a gross stained soaking tub hurts your whole home value if you ever decide to pack up and sell. Often, buyers jump to conclusions and think the whole plumbing system is falling apart just because a basin looks dirty. Thankfully, a shiny radiant gloss shell immediately gives your bathroom a luxury feel without draining your hard-earned savings account.
Besides, you can choose from clean brilliant white, rich bone tones, or custom modern shades to match your new wall paint seamlessly. Automatically, the whole room feels bigger, brighter, and way more inviting for your family and house guests. To be fair, it is probably the single most cost-effective home improvement project you can ever tackle.
Therefore, why keep staring at that ugly outdated color or those rusty bottom spots every single morning? Right now, transforming your old soaking area is faster and easier than it has ever been before.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Kingsbury, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
